"A majority taken collectively is only an individual, whose opinions, and frequently whose interests, are opposed to those of another individual, who is styled a minority. If it be admitted that a man possessing absolute power may misuse that power wronging his adversaries, why should not a majority be liable to the same reproach?" - Tocqueville, Democracy in America

Gormless

UiTM has apparently invited nominations for the Ibrahim Ali Award. The award is reserved for those “students who have proven they have "clear and consistent" principles in upholding their race.”

After watching the events unfolded for the past few weeks, I learned many things. I learned about Aunty Bersih. I learned about necessity for Clean and Fair election. Foremost, I learned a new terminology called Najib. It started as possibly a Malay word but it is international now. Absolutely applicable in English, Italian, Latin Indian or Mandarin. Cakap tak serupa bikin, = Bikin tak serupa cakap = Najib.

The thing I find most sad about this is that my dad spent nearly the whole of his working life, 30-odd years, as a lecturer at uITM, or just ITM as it was known at the time. He is a man (yes, we are of Chinese origin) who spent his entire career trying to uplift the Malay people.In fact, there was a time when many non-Malays teaching in ITM around the late 70's and early 80's; Chinese, Indian, Ceylonese and even a few Filipinos. This part of history seems to have been dissapeared Stalin-style. Melayu mudah lupa indeed!Now the thing is that I am actually not bitter nor angry about it. Malaysia has provided my family with enough opportunities and a good enough education for me to broaden my horizons and spread my wings. However, these wings have taken me to distant shores and the truly saddest thing is that I am unlikely to return.

Very soon we will see hundreds of Ibrahim Ali clones spewing racists sentiments. UiTM is certainly proud to have this dinosaur amongst its alumni who claims to be a Mass Com (Mass Hysteria more aptly)graduate and a student of propaganda from a 'School of Freedom' in Germany, who cannot even think and articulate logically. (Incidentally,propaganda is a dirty word in postwar Germany) Instead of encouraging its students to pursue studies that will stand them in good stead in facing the challenges and demands of globalisation, we have UiTM promoting the cult and mischief of a miscreant and a literal 'katak dibawah tempurung'. Good luck, UiTM and congratulations. You have made my day.

What a contradiction? The Education Ministry forbids students from involving themselves in politics but at the same time approves an "Ibrahim Ali" award offered by a loud mouth racist, obnoxious and cowardly politician to UiTM. One can only deduce the present government via the Education Ministry as propagating racism in local education institutions. I pity the UiTM students as they will be hard pressed to find employment after graduating from a real low class and low standard "university".

Why fret on things like this? I am sure we can outdo whatever the UMNO people do.

For example, we could equally have some kind of a Mat-Sabu award. Only flunkies need to apply, and those who have clear articulations on their political beliefs need NOT apply. Smart ones, those with CGPA above 3.0, are automatically disqualified. Those who could intersperse within their speeches, innuendos or sexually-inclined satires (that kampung people loves soooo much) have higher points to win. Looks are important: those who have them will be least considered. And the ones who have any history of being in the close proximity with women in a hotel room disguised under "health consultancy" for minyak urut, stand more chance to be given the award.

Equally possible too would be an Anwar-Ibrahim-Lifetime-Achievement award. Academic excellence not necessarily a must: ability to talk is. Those with penchant for spinning, or melodramatizing tiny injuries so that they appear as life-threatening ones, are encouraged to apply. Knowledge of Economics, or lack thereof, is a plus. Potential winning points include the applicant's free and open mindedness on sexuality. In fact gays should apply. Straight heteros can also apply although their applications will be subjected to other lifestyled-people's rights of refusals.

For increased chances of winning, applicants are encouraged to visit LemanPulut's site, and the ones with the nastiest and most scatological comments shooting down Leman Pulut after this will gain merits that can serve towards favourable outcomes in their applications for said award.

What I.A. "Katak" is trying to instill in these young ignorant mind reminds me of the ugly stories of criminal syndicates that kidnapped kids, maimed them, so they will be more efeectively in begging a la "Slum Dog Millionaire".

He is brainwashing these young minds with all the BS, that they are handicap and need crutches to survive. Furthermore, he is trying to convince them that they are born with exclusive rights to these so called "crutches".

I.A. is doing the bumi a great disservice. It's about time to award him with the ultimate award, the Distinguish RIP Award.

The first outright winner of the Principled Katak award should go to the Vice chancellor of UITM itself who approved the award. While the World is marching forwards, our so-called leaders are taking steps back into ignorance and stupidity.
